My project as an intern is to communicate with the Opto22 and Beckhoff 9000 with the modbus protocol. I'm not 100% familiar with "protocols" in general but i have done a sample client/server app's in C which just send messages via a char array to two different Xterm's on a UNIX box (in my data com class at college).
So my question really is how do I get started, I understand the jargin of packets and headers Etc. But via the protocol we are just sending strings via char arrays? If anyone could point my in the right direction or has a sample app or code that I could use to communicate with this via an I/O operation (Vusual basic or C).
Thanks, email @ [email protected]
P.S. This will lend itself to an incapsulated I/O Library that we use and will be developed using C#.
